Need super sounding bookshelf speakers help!!

[Seth=L]

I need to suggest the Era D4 or the D5. I listened to the Epos, Triangle and Paradigm Studios before I bought the D5 and couldn't be happier. Even as I continue to audition speakers every chance I get, nothing has made me second guess the Era.

The 600 series B&W (smallest ones), which sell for about the same, sounded much more open than the ERA D4s I listened to. The amount of detail they could reproduce was just more than what ERA could offer. ERA makes a beautiful compact speaker with impressive sound, but bang for buck, not so much.

I just bought a pair of Energy Reference Connoisseur RC-10 bookshelfs for my music only system. They are marked down at audioadvisor from $550 to $350 pr, $1000 to 700 pr for the floorstanders. I'm really impressed with these speakers. They sound fantastic on everything, but Jazz and Blues really blow me away. Wife's very happy also because of the sound and how they look...got mine in "Rosenut". Links are below if your interested.

Those RC-10 bookshelves at $350.00 are a great deal. Now we have a real fight between PSB B25 @ $299.00/pr vs Energy RC10 @$350.00/pr. Be advised that most people give the RC10 the edge.

Sailfish, congratulations on your purchase, it is good to know that you took all our advise and instead of going with a popular choice, went with a speaker that is not that well known, but provided you with what you were looking for. Which, proves the importance of reading, researching, and learning, but you must audition and come to conclusions for yourself.
